Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A 1985 film directed by Peter Masterson, adapted by screenwriter Horton Foote from his own 1953 teleplay of the same name.The setting is late-1940s Texas. Carrie Wright (Geraldine Page) is an elderly widow who lives in a small apartment in Houston with her son, Ludie (John Heard), and daughter-in-law, Jessie Mae (Carlin Glynn). The two women don't get along, as Jessie Mae is annoyed by Ms. Wright's tendency to run in the house and sing hymns, while Ms. Wright doesn't shy away from snooping through her daughter-in-law's space.Feeling exasperated and suffocated, Ms. Wright has a habit of trying to run away to her childhood hometown of Bountiful. She always gets caught, however, by Ludie or Jessie Mae before she can make it out of station.This time, however, Ms. Wright meets a young stranger named Thelma (Rebecca De Mornay) who's going back to her parents' home and decides to help her get to Bountiful. They ride the bus together and share their stories and worries, discussing the meaning of hope, trust, and relationships.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })But when they arrive at the last stop before Bountiful, Ms. Wright has to come to terms that her idyllic memories of the town are long outdated; Bountiful has become a derelict Ghost Town, with the last occupant and her best friend passing away just a couple days before. Still, she's resolved to pay her last tributes to the town and see it while she can, regardless of what she may find there.The movie earned Geraldine Page multiple nominations and won her the Academy Award for Best Actress. | |
